Registered Veterinary Nurse

We are looking for a
Registered Veterinary Nurse

Our lively small animal practice based in the Weston-Super-Mare is seeking a Registered Veterinary Nurse to join our friendly, professional team.  You will join our existing nursing team of eight – made up of a good balance of RVNs, SVNs and ACAs.  

When we say team – we mean it!  Anyone who joins us is carefully selected to make sure we all enjoy each other’s company.  Everyone applying will be an RVN, but what will set you apart is your cool head, your patient and kind demeanour, your eagerness to both learn something new and share what you’ve learnt, and a sense of humour that ideally knows no bounds.  

We’re proud to be able provide our clinical team with the facilities they need to allow them to deliver veterinary care that focuses on both high clinical standards and stand-out customer service;  this also includes a full support team of receptionists and a dedicated insurance administrator, along with modern equipment including nurse-lead laser clinics, sevoflurane anaesthetics, digital x-ray, capnography, in-house laboratory… with more new kit on the way.  

We are in a lovely position to be able to welcome interest from candidates seeking anything from 22-40 hours per week (which would look 2-4 weekdays per week, plus 1 in 3 weekends). There are no out-of-hours or on-call duties, but your rota hours will include one in three weekends in the surgery (Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 10:30am-4:30pm) when you will work with a second nurse as well as one vet and two dedicated receptionists.  All our colleagues receive a fixed, predictable rota with the same day off each week, enabling you to enjoy some of that elusive work: life balance! 

In return we offer a really welcoming and rewarding working environment, together with opportunities and support for you to develop and expand your particular area(s) of interest. Out of respect for our existing nursing team we prefer not to publish the details of our salary package but are happy to discuss openly at interview. This accompanies CPD spend, and exclusive company benefits and rewards such as 20% off in Pets at Home. 

To apply or to ask any questions you can email me using:

If you are interested in joining our team, then I would love to hear from you before 31st January.  

I understand what a small world it is, so if you’d like to approach me informally in the first instance, 
I assure you of the utmost confidence.
